At Stone Horse Apiary & Apothecary, we believe good honey starts with healthy bees and responsible stewardship of the land. Owned and operated by Master Beekeeper Kristine Smith, we manage over 150 colonies across 20+ apiaries throughout Southeastern Virginia and the Hampton Roads region, using sustainable, biology-driven practices that put colony health first. Our Virginia wildflower honey reflects the natural rhythms of the seasons—never standardized, always true to the bloom—and our small-batch infused honeys are thoughtfully crafted to complement that natural flavor. From hive to jar, our commitment is simple: care for the bees, respect the land, and produce honey you can trust.

To meet demand, we partner with local beekeepers who share our standards, ensuring everything stays rooted in Virginia and in real, sustainable agriculture.

SOLD OUT! Nuc & Queen Orders will be ready after May 15th 2026
